You know if some people see this they're gonna get angry with you....?

They will think you are making fun of their traumas. I am not one of them. I understand "overkill." And that is what the piece mocks, the concept that everyone in a certain grouping has to be approached as a victim, not the idea of being considerate of actual victims.

The polite thing to do is to post this in Video & Multimedia and then give a summary.

I thought it was pretty funny. It did a good job of showing how the trigger warning thing could go too far.
